Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer 10,010 元 to pay you 1,420,000 元. In other words, every time you spend 10 元 of your hard-earned money, 4.45 元 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.8% tax rate now rises to 44.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.40000000000001% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make 17,040,000 元 a year living in the region of Guangzhou, China, you will be taxed 7,463,508 元. That means that your net pay will be 9,576,492 元 per year, or 798,041 元 per month.
